In this case rule #1 does not apply.
Please be a dick.

It is UI and UX fail.
In other words, another day at Gawker Media.

imagine that you are a new viewer looking at this for the first time . you haven't read the aforementioned instructions , and try to figure out what's going on . I think lots of visitors will be turned off by the experience , never to return . that's how a website dies .

A day at Gawker Media when everything runs right? Probably only when Hell freezes over, Apple gets sold to Google, and the Chinese stop reverse engineering everything...

I would say yes, but a new user also wouldn't have known of prior version. I have seen far worse of a design

Last system was probably the most stable and usable one they've had.
But nope. They just had to change it.

I'm going to guess that over all the sites it works better, might have a better backend, can't be much different than vbulliten updates etc

That ... I could understand . but , don't try to pass it off as a better experience for us , just explain that the backend needs to be fixed , and that is going to change the user interface .

There was a time when commenting on these sites was quick and easy. There was so much interaction and dialogue going on, and I usually posted multiple times a day.
Nowadays, I can't be bothered. So much of this just doesn't make sense to me. What used to be a straight-forward process is now anything but. I'm not a guy who hates change or anything, I just hate needless change for the worse.
